Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

Treatment failure: any new/increased use of corticosteroids,immunosuppressants/antimalarial drug,death,hospitalization/treatment discontinuation due to SLE, any flare of lupus interfering with study participation. SLEDAI-2K:assesses improvement in disease activity(0 to 105;higher score=higher severity). BILAG:assesses disease extent, severity (A [severe] to E [no disease]). PhGA: assesses worsening in subject’s general health status(0[none] to 3[severe]). Full Analysis Set (FAS) excluding 200-mg dose group.

    Notes
    [1] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: As per planned analysis, for this end point, FAS population excluding the subjects in 200 mg group was used. Hence, the arm "PF-04236921 200 mg" was excluded from the analysis.

    End point description
    SRI components include: modified SLEDAI 2K (SLEDAI 2K without standard parameters "Low complement" and "Leukopenia"), BILAG 2004, PhGA. Subjects classified as responder if they did not meet definition of treatment failure and met all the following criteria: >=4 point reduction in SLEDAI 2K score; no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores; <0.3 point increase in PhGA score. Treatment failure: any new/increased use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants/antimalarial drug, death, hospitalization/treatment discontinuation due to SLE, any flare of lupus interfering with study participation. Modified SLEDAI-2K: assesses improvement in disease activity (0 to 102; higher score = higher severity). BILAG: assesses disease extent, severity (A [severe] to E [no disease]). PhGA: assesses worsening in subject’s general health status (0[none] to 3[severe]). FAS excluding the subjects in the 200-mg dose group; 'n' = subjects evaluable at specified time point.

    Percentage of Subjects Achieving Pre-defined Criteria for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Responder Index (SRI) Components at Week 24 [10]
    End point description
    SRI components: SLEDAI 2K, BILAG 2004, PhGA. Subjects classified as responder if they did not meet definition of treatment failure, met all the following criteria: >=4 point reduction in SLEDAI 2K score; no new BILAG A organ domain score/2 new BILAG B organ domain scores;<0.3 point increase in PhGA score. Treatment failure: any new/increased use of corticosteroids,immunosuppressants/antimalarial drug,death, hospitalization/treatment discontinuation due to SLE,any flare of lupus interfering with study participation. SLEDAI-2K:assesses improvement in disease activity(0 to 105;higher score=higher severity).BILAG:assesses disease extent, severity (A[severe] to E[no disease]). PhGA: assesses worsening in subject’s general health (0[none] to 3[severe]). FAS excluding 200-mg dose group; 'n' = subjects evaluable for specified categories. Model percent estimates reported only for 'Reduction in SLEDAI Score', 'No Worsening in PhGA' categories; for remaining categories, raw percentages reported.

    Notes
    [10] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: As per planned analysis, for this end point, FAS population excluding the subjects in 200 mg group was used. Hence, the arm "PF-04236921 200 mg" was excluded from the analysis.

    Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 [33]
    End point description
    EQ-5D is a standardized, subject-administered measure of health outcome. It provides a descriptive profile for 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), using 3 levels (no, moderate, or extreme problems) and a single index value characterizing current health status using a 100-point VAS (0= worst imaginable health state, 100= best imaginable health state).

    End point description
    SF-36 is a standardized survey evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well being: physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, bodily pain, general health, vitality, mental health. Vitality sub-score is a component of SF-36 Health Survey Questionnaire and assesses energy and fatigue. The vitality score ranged from 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning). FAS excluding the subjects in the 200-mg dose group. LOCF method was used to impute missing values. As the SF-36 MCS component results were not significant at any timepoint, the decision was made to evaluate the vitality domain, at only Week 24 timepoint. Here, results for only Week 24 time point are reported.

    Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT-F) Score at Baseline [46]
    End point description
    FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Subjects scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Larger the subject’s response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), greater was the subject’s fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the subject’s response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). FAS excluding the subjects in the 200-mg dose group.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Jul 2011
    1. Changed primary endpoint of subjects achieving SLE responder Index from Week 20 or 24 to Week 24 only. 2. Combined BILAG, SLEDAI-2K and Physician’s Global Assessment endpoints into a single endpoint of components and disposition of SRI. Added corticosteroid taper endpoint. Added endpoint for normalized serologic activity Endpoints. Clarified mean change in patient global VAS, EQ-5D, SF-36 PCS, MCS and Vitality Score –all domains over time including SF-6D, FACIT. 3. AE assessment section was modified to include the monitoring of hypersensitivity reactions to the investigational product.
    01 Mar 2013
    1. Due to new safety data, tuberculosis (TB) testing was added at week 12, 24, 36 and week 52 throughout the study. 2. New safety language regarding neutrophil monitoring and monitoring of tuberculosis was added. Subjects were re-evaluated at frequent intervals to monitor the absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) and for signs or symptoms of infections. If the ANC counts increased to >=750 cells per cubic millimeter (cells/mm^3) within 15 days of the next dose at either Week 8 or Week 16, the subject was discontinued and entered the follow up period. Subjects were also discontinued if they developed any symptoms or signs of febrile neutropenia during this period. Following follow up measures were added to this protocol to ensure the continued safety of subjects and to further mitigate the risk of TB infection: a) Serial TB testing (Purified Protein Derivative [PPD] or quantiferon test [QFT]) was implemented to monitor for new cases of TB during the course of study. b) Subjects were carefully monitored throughout study for signs, symptoms of TB such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, wheezing, fever, coughing up mucus or blood, excessive sweating(especially at night), lymphadenopathy, new fatigue, or new unplanned weight loss. c) If a subject converted from a negative to positive TB test during trial by serial testing, they were thoroughly evaluated to exclude TB. d) If it was confirmed that a subject had developed latent or active TB in the study based upon above evaluations, the subject received further doses of test article, and was treated standard antimycobacterial therapy. e) If treatment with steroids was required to treat a documented lupus flare, or intercurrent medical condition, a thorough evaluation was performed to exclude TB infection prior to initiating steroid therapy.
    30 Apr 2013
    Further dosing in the 200 mg treatment arm was stopped due to safety reasons and excluded from the primary analysis.
